After a night out on the (Halifax) Town a long hill walk in the Yorkshire Dales was in order. The bag was packed but I faced a little dilemma as to what camera, well, lens to take.
I decided on the Sigma 10-20mm. It was the right choice.
As the sun grew strong, our long hike in the Dales turned into a short walk up a big hill. Sharp How is the name of this hill, though the local Yorkshire folk refer to it as Sharpa'. It must be a Yorkshire thing.
Sunday was one of those days where you and your (or rather Me and My)! companions just can't be bothered with a long trek so, after visiting the summit, we decided an ice-cream and a sit by a river may be the best way to spend the rest of the day.
Photography wise, the 10-20mm came in handy as we crossed some rock formations on the way down the hill. They made an interesting foreground and a wall acted as a lead-in line. I used the 10mm end of the lens to emphasize the sky and add a slight distortion curve.
The final version was converted to B&W and then 'cooked' in Photo shop to add contrast.
